sugoi! I hope he doesn't turn into kakigori

how come the driver didn't see the guy falling from the wing mirror and/or notice the cold wind coming from the open door? or did the guy close the door after he fell out???

In cases where an individual contacts police to report a stalker-related crime

So they will wait until it's a crime?? I've read a lot of stalker-related stories about girls receiving hundreds of mails from their stalkers, and police tells them "sorry, we can't do anything about it, sending mails is not a crime etc...", and eventually these girls get assaulted. good initiative though.

So Abe is not only wasting the country's money inspite of the actual economic situation, he 's also kind of bribing ASEAN...

not the best pic the journalist could have chosen LOL

thank god I don't wear miniskirts... lol

so the fukushima homeless refugees thing is resolved and everything is going well??????

I can't help but imagine this scene: Abe (desperate... in tears, overwhelmed): "Please, Biden-san, I'm begging you... tell me that you're here for me... that I'm not alone... don't leave me alone...." Biden (patting him on the shoulder with a slight smile on his face): don't worry my dear, I am here for you. I don't recognize China's ADIZ

so sweet... I could totally forgive him

@Pandabelle: according to wikipedia : "In 2000, Japan enacted a national law to combat this behaviour, after the murder of Shiori Ino.[41] Acts of stalking can be viewed as "interfering [with] the tranquility of others' lives" and are prohibited under petty offence laws." didn't know that. I've been hearing a lot about women murdered by their stalkers lately (ex-bf, husband etc..) after police told them they couldn't do anything about the stalkers.

307 (for now) is not a small number anymore! Do they realize that this mislabeling thing is doing a lot of harm to many customers??? Punishing them would be the best "countermeasure. and how are "housewives" supposed to distinguish between fake ingredients and real ones? Experts are needed here.

why doesn't he just resign?

sounds like a mexican drama...

2,500yen??? not worth the effort at all big boy!

R.I.P Madiba!

this article is very... hmmm..... shallow. And so are the items the book is listing. instant ramen? seriously?

Happy birthday Masako-sama.

I find this picture very "bland" and inexpressive, compared to this http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ8CAEryey1tfJA35cbUz1vxRlaGbeURGp0FWRRy4LpAMGNSOF3

Also, way to go Yamamoto-san!

There are no traffic lights at the intersection.

In my experience, J drivers never have the courtesy to stop for whomsoever at such places.

@Farmboy: the only thing I'm assuming is that at 99,9% of foreign visitors speak English better than Japanese.

unless mass protests happen across the country, Abe and co. won't listen to the people, and nothing is going to change. Nice pic though

@Scrote

oldman_13: If the whalers were operating in Japanese territorial waters I might agree, but they are travelling half way around the world to waters that do not belong to Japan to kill whales that do not belong to Japan.

I say they have no right to do this and their actions can in no way be described as "Japanese culture" (unless you consider depletion of fish stocks Japanese culture). Pig-headed arrogance is what I call it and I hope that Sea Shepherd stop them and cause them to make a loss (again).

TEPCO and co. never fails to disappoint me. And this kind of news is actually what Abe wants to keep secret from the public.

an "instructional" video about sento for foreigners by gaijins speaking in japanese... nonesense.

Good morning brain cancer!

Woman calling police 15000+ times. Cops visit her 60+ times. Don't these people have smething better in their lives to do?

what a useless poll. Just enhancing hatred between people

@Spender: Sorry but I don't eat junk food. I come from a Mediterranean country where everything has a taste. Vegetables taste better, fish tastes better and spices taste better! I find Japanese food really overrated.

To me (at least), what they call "Japanese cuisine" is totally tasteless. It might look good, but it has no flavor.

neighbor sees snake so he calls the cops... lol
